Amazon.co.uk Review

You know you're going to get a different kind of superhero when you cast Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. And Iron Man is different, in welcome ways. Cleverly updated from Marvel Comics' longstanding series, Iron Man puts billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (that's Downey) in the path of some Middle Eastern terrorists; in a brilliantly paced section, Stark invents an indestructible suit that allows him to escape. If the rest of the movie never quite hits that precise rhythm again, it nevertheless offers plenty of pleasure, as the renewed Stark swears off his past as a weapons manufacturer, develops his new Iron Man suit, and puzzles both his business partner (Jeff Bridges in great form) and executive assistant (Gwyneth Paltrow). Director Jon Favreau geeks out in fun ways with the hardware, but never lets it overpower the movie, and there's always a goofy one-liner or a slapstick pratfall around to break the tension. As for Downey, he doesn't get to jitterbug around too much in his improv way, but he brings enough of his unpredictable personality to keep the thing fresh. And listen up, hardcore Marvel mavens: even if you know the Stan Lee cameo is coming, you won't be able to guess it until it's on the screen. It all builds to a splendid final scene, with a concluding line delivery by Downey that just feels absolutely right. --Robert Horton

4.0 out of 5 stars Sit back. Disengage. Enjoy., 25 Sep 2008
By R. Britain "richardbrit" (Thailand) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I was never a big fan of superheroes to be honest. However I watched this movie prepared for a simple comic book epic, which would of course entail big explosions, great effects, a modest story line and hopefully some not too wooden acting. Thats exactly what you get, all done just about to perfection. You get nothing more, but the finish of it all is so good that you can have no complaints at all. If you expect more then don't watch it. Bonuses come in the form of a great lead man in Robert Downey Jr and the additional sparkle of Paltrow. The story is the generic Superhero plot followed in almost all the recent incarnations: superhero metamorphosis followed by a secondary character harnessing the ability to do the same with a bit extra followed by climactic battle with predictable ending. Its tried and tested and it works well. And this version of it is no exception. Its not deep, its not convoluted, its blockbuster entertainment in its cleanest purest form, for all with the appropriate level of expectation to appreciate. Sit back. Disengage. Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars The man in the techno mask., 17 Aug 2008
By I. Goldsmith "Prof. Garden" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's reasonably clean family viewing if you're into super heroes and big boy's toys. Well I liked it!
It's worth watching just to see the suit being fitted to Tony Stark (Rob Downey jr).

Iron man is pretty 2d character in the comics (in my opinion), but thanks to the marvels of CGI the best thing about him - his suit - is brought marvelously to life. Add to that some good performances from Downey and Co, plus a half decent plot and you get a pretty good movie.

I saw this at the cinema and loved it! I saw The Dark Knight on the other hand and was disappointed. This is comic book escapism and good clean fun (if memory serves me right) and stands comfortably besides Spiderman and the newer Superman movie.

In short, I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great film, 12 Sep 2008
By C. Shepherd "Radiotone" (Humber Delta, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was a fan of the Iron Man comic books in the 1960's (wish I still had them) but had since grown up! When I saw that a film had been made, I just had to see it and wasn't disappointed. Downey is very believable as Tony Stark & the action scenes are fantastic. Great film, I look forward to Iron Man 2 (and hopefully 3 & 4!!). The DVD release is on my wish list already.
